I recently got (out of all else I have and have tried) my primary "set up" from here on out... (I may jump around just to switch test flavors on other tanks not to gunk up the Nautilus Mini? I've other similar tanks.) Its been over 6mos smoke free but still can't find my nitch .... HERE YOU HAVE the ANSWERS!!! Pink 20watt I stick with Nautilus mini tank. Suggestions on voltage or wattage or range I should be in??? I just want to TASTE my juice! (on VV VW manual spinners, I kept the wattage @ 7? Really needing help sorting this BADLY! I just want the BEST RESULTS and hope I'm asking the right ?'s? Thanks so much!

Pick one, wattage or voltage.

Start low and slowly increase until you find a setting that works for you. If you go too high and get a burnt taste/dry hit, lower the watts or volts a notch or two.

I'm usually around 15-17 watts on my iStick (flavor dependent). Many members like it much lower (10-15 watts).

Like Susan suggested, taste is a personal thing. I like fairly heavy vapor, but not a cloud chaser. When I have others trying my ecigs, I tend to lower the wattage.

My suggestion which will sound Similar to Susan's. I suggest wattage. take note of what ohm rating your coil is at now. Experiment with that coil.. start low and work up in wattage. like Susan suggested, if you find you're getting dry hits, lower the wattage some, prime, and try that for a while.

You say you're not tasting your juice? is it not producing enough vapor?

FYI, this is what works for me, but I like a heavy vapor... For a really heavy taste overload, I go mechanical. IT puts out too much vapor for an all the time vape, but every once in a while, like when I figrst get home from work, I do some semi cloudchasing. Once home for a bit, I switch to my 100W Sigeli. HOWEVER, I only keep the setting at 30 watts. I have two 1.4 ohm coils in my tank. Again, that is too much for an every day vape, so I am currently looking for something else a bit less vapor wise.

I do have an Istick 20w. Currently, it is loaned out to a co-worker who will end up buying one for himself. I plan on getting a subtank micro for it. However, they don't offer the resistance I want. So, I am going to make my own 1.2 ohm coil for it and I'll probably set it at 15 watts.

Airflow is a key part to taste. too much airflow, and it mutes the flavor and generally prodcues more vapor, too little airflow and you're sucking too hard with less vapor, but the flavor is more intense for what you're vaping. find your happy medium. The Nautilus mini should have an adjustable airflow.

Hope that helps.. Try reducing the airflow a bit. Less clouds, but hopefully more flavor.
 
I just got an istick 30 with a nuatilus mini as well on friday, i have also realised to start low and work your way up until its nice. For me that was at 15W, but then i put a new flavor in my nautilus and vaped with it still at 15 and it was killing my throat and i turned it down a few notches and tasted beautiful! So basically it depends on your taste and also the juice in your tank.

this is just what i have experienced

Thanks ladies and gents.... Thank you very much. I'm stating at a MUCH lower wattage. Seems I get burnt taste even higher than 6. My throat doesn't burn, the flavor smokes, this the 1.8 ohm coil 2... Maybe it is the juice. I feel like with these n other VW devices n airflow tanks other flavors which just wouldn't work with a smaller spinner. I feel like I can now shop for regular juices where in the past I just didn't have enough wattage to make them taste like total ICK. I'm also finding that there REALLY ARE juices made for drippers and those better suited for tanks. A high end vape shop (a "vendor" more specifically)tell me that I want to stay with a 50/50 ratio? If its FLAVOR I want, y not 70/30. I feel as if I'm in vape 101 n I'm not kidding! Using wattage as opposed to voltage to test taste? Y not both? If u have good juice recommendations (sweet fruity) please chime in too. This kid, even after 6 mos at this, is just not getting it... Used to think I knew enough NOPE! Here's where you all come in and I am soooo grateful!
